How to Catch my Google Hangout on Air

2013-05-22T04:00:00.000-05:00

Today's the big day! My first Google Hangout on Air! What is that? Basically a tutorial that I present live...kind of like "Show and Tell" for big kids!

How can you view it? If you want to see it live, be on time and watch it here. I will try to enable chat so you can ask questions while I'm live.

If you miss it, you can see it on my You Tube channel here.

I hope you can check it out, and I hope you'll enjoy it! A presto!
